PHP/MySQL Test/Production Server best practices

Hello,
I am currently learning PHP/MySql and have setup a test server to develop on and a production server to go live with. I wanted to know what are the best practices for synchronizing the test server with the production. Should I export the database from the test server and import it to the production server each time I make a change or is there better way to incrementally sync the databases. I am using Dreamweaver to design the web site.
Thanks,
Nick

Thanks, but does this mean that after I go live I should make changes on the production database only and not use the development database, if say I need to add a new table or record(s)?
Procedure
1. Take production web site down
2. Export/Save current database
3. Make changes to production database
4. Export/Save new database
5. Bring production web site up
Is this correct?

SQL server Best Practice Analyzer output in .CSV

Hi Team, I ran SQL server Best practice analyzer on our SQL 2008 R2 server. I was trying to export scan result in .csv format but it is only giving me option to save it in .xml format. I have been looking for ways to export output in such a way
that it can be readable and I can send it to our clients but no luck.
How can I export SQL BPA output in .csv or any other user friendly format?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi MSRS27,
You can run Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) scans either from Server Manager, by using the BPA GUI, or by using cmdlets in Windows PowerShell. We can view or save BPA results from Windows PowerShell session in different format.
If you want to export BPA results to a comma-separated values (CSV) text file, run the following cmdlet, where Path represents the path and text file name to which you want to save the CSV results.
CSV results can be imported into Microsoft® Excel, or other programs that display data in spreadsheets or grids.

Is construction of webi directly in production a best practice?

with bex-query and universes well consolidated and tested by a IT group,
can be considered the construction of webis directly in production without going through test and quality a Business Objects best practice?
is possible allow end-users (non IT personal) construct this webis?
Is there a document of good practices that SAP made this recommendation?.
thanks in advance by the answer.
Ramón Mediero

If universe and all has been tested and signed-off; also end user are familiar with Webi report development and they want their ad-hoc reports instead of pre-developed report set; There will be no issue to allowing end user to develop the Webi reports in production. However there we have to take care of few points like
> need to check where report creation in production's public folder is feasible or not ? If yes how? is we need to create separate folders for individual user or what else ? and if No then what will be alternative like they can create in favorite folder?
> also we need to take control on number of report that users will create. however may be users will create so many reports with huge amount of data refreshes and etc and PROD will face performance issues etc etc...
like this there can be so many considerations needs to consider
Hope this will give u some idea...

SQL Server Best Practices Architecture UCS and FAS3270

Hey thereWe are moving from EMC SAN and physical servers to NetApp fas3270 and virtual environment on Cisco UCS B200 M3.Traditionally - Best Practices for SQL Server Datbases are to separate the following files on spearate LUN's and/or VolumesDatabase Data filesTransaction Log filesTempDB Data filesAlso I have seen additional separations for...
System Data files (Master, Model, MSDB, Distribution, Resource DB etc...)IndexesDepending on the size of the database and I/O requirements you can add multiple files for databases. The goal is provide optimal performance. The method of choice is to separate Reads & Writes, (Random and Sequential activities)If you have 30 Disks, is it better to separate them? Or is better to leave the files in one continous pool? 12 Drives RAID 10 (Data files)10 Drives RAID 10 (Log files)8 Drives RAID 10 (TempDB)Please don't get too caught up on the numbers used in the example, but place focus on whether or not (using FAS3270) it is better practice to spearate or consolidate drives/volumes for SQL Server DatabasesThanks!

Hi Michael,It's a completely different world with NetApp! As a rule of thumb, you don't need separate spindles for different workloads (like SQL databases & logs) - you just put them into separate flexible volumes, which can share the same aggregate (i.e. a grouping of physical disks).For more detailed info about SQL on NetApp have a look at this doc:http://www.netapp.com/us/system/pdf-reader.aspx?pdfuri=tcm:10-61005-16&m=tr-4003.pdfRegards,Radek

Dreamweaver 8 - Test/Production Server Question and Working Remotely

Hello Everyone,
Right now I use Dreamweaver 8 at work with no problems. My
computer at work is also my test server. I do everything from that
one machine and then upload/put the files to our production server
once I know they are working correctly. So basically my work
computer/server is a mirror of our production server. My question
is this:
Right now I use either Remote Administrator (Radmin) or
Remote Desktop, when working from home, to connect to my work
computer/test server (same computer). This is kind of slow trying
to move around and edit/develop. Is it possible to use Dreamweaver
8 and WebDAV or RDS to allow me to edit/create the files directly
on my work machine from home and then when I PUT the file have it
go to my production server? So basically nothing changes about how
I do it except that I am doing it remotely. Right now it downloads
the files to my computer and when I PUT them it goes only to my
test server only. I like to it to save the files to my test server
and put the files to my production server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I am just not
setting it up correctly.

This can’t be done as RDS is about working with and
synchronising to your server.
You may be able to set up two sites (test server and live
server) with the same local root folder depending how you are set
up but at some point you will create synchronisation issues.
My solution is to separate the two processes, all work is
done to the test server. When changes are ready to go live they are
FTP’ed from the test server to the live server using a
separate FTP program and a snap shot of the site is taken and
backed up with the FTP log. Although it seems to be adding to the
workflow it does ensure live changes are conscious changes and
backup (role back ability) is maintained.

CS6 Dreamweaver using PHP & MySQL - Delete Record Server Behavior?

When I try to insert the Delete Record server behavior. I get an error message about a DeleteRecord.js file, which seems to be missing or defective. I cannot use the server behavior. I have a file that I developed using CS5, and it does indeed delete the record, but does not proceed to the destination I want. I cannot change that except in the server behavior, so I'm stuck. I have noticed that server behaviors seem to disappear without apparent cause, as it seems to have in this case. I will appreciate any suggestions! Is there any way to embed a call to a target page manually? All is working WITHOUT the server behavior appearing, but I want to go to a confirmation display page that shows the record is indeed deleted, and we just return to the (now blank) delete confirmation page. That'll drive a user bonkers!
Thanks!
Delete Record in CS6 Dreamweaver using PHP & MySQL?

Well, your error message is self-explanatory.
DW stores ServerBehaviors in 'Configuration' folder in installation directory. If one of the behavior JS files is missing/ corrupt, you'll see the error message you just did.
I've uploaded a functional, proper version of DeleteRecord.js onto my site for you to download. Here's the link:
http://www.sudarshan.me/adobeforum/dw/app/behavior-js/DeleteRecord.zip
Download this file, extract it and put DeleteRecord.js file in your installation directory as follows. If prompted, 'replace' your local copy:
Mac: Applications > Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 > Configuration > ServerBehaviors > PHP_MySQL
Windows: C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\[language]\Configuration\ServerBehaviors\PHP_MySQL
It should work as expected.
If that still doesn't solve the problem, reset your DW preferences and cache and try doing it. Follow the instructions here to reset cache: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
Let us know how it goes.

Reporting Server best practices ...

we are migrating a bunch of reports from reporting services native mode to sharepoint 2013.
Ideally these reports would be accessible (some mutually and some exclusively) between
n number of companies that are supported by the BI IT Department.
There's a number of way that this would work - one would be to have multiple apps; one on each company site...
anyone here would have some literature of best practices and best methods this could be achieved?
thanks

In that case, because each user viewing the reports needs permission to the actual item, you'll need to deploy the reports to each unique site.
For security purposes, each customer should have a unique Site Collection. A Site Collection is the security boundary within SharePoint.

Securing MySQL for production server.

Hello,
I am about to start to build a server running 10.5.3 to host a web site with a MySQL back end. Whilst doing this i will be learning about MySQL as i go along. The question i would like to ask though before i get started is What do i need to do initially to secure the MySL installation on a 10.5.3 Leopard Server?
Has Apple secured it as much as possible out of the box, apart form setting the root password or do i need to do further configuring to secure other areas.
PS. Is there such a tool that will check for any security vulnerabilities in your configuration before it goes live?
Thanks in advance for any help.

There are multiple attacks targeting Joomla presently active, based on what the botnets are aiming at the (non-Joomla) web sites I manage.
The web apps are the target here. Joomla, front and center. Yes, the attackers can want into the database, but they're going to try to gain that access through the very same applications that you have already authorized database access. Through your content management system (CMS). If Joomla can access and modify the database, then an attack based on SQL Injection or XSS can itself gain that same access.
Having the DB located local, remote or even on Mars (well, other than the latency) does not alter the security situation, as the target (Joomla) is authorized access into the database.
I don't prefer to connect Mac OS X Server (directly) to the web. For something like this, I use an out-board firewall, set to pass ports 80 and 443, and other specific ports as required, If you connect directly, you have to be much more careful with your management and installation. With Mac OS X Server behind a firewall, you can keep (most of) the port attacks blocked out at the firewall, and not directly on your server. If you install or reconfigure something that opens a port (whether you realize it or not) and you don't have an outboard firewall, that port can be accessed remotely.
I do use the Mac OS X Server firewall, in conjunction with the outboard firewall. I don't prefer to use the host firewall -- in isolation -- in an internet-facing server environment. And I keep that outboard firewall locked down.
One area of database security here involves getting recoverable copies off the host for use if the host becomes compromised. Periodically test the restores, too. And recognize you might have to drop back some number of snapshots, until you find a copy of your database and your web directories that isn't compromised.
Get on the Joomla security notification lists (the content management system I use offers those; haven't specifically checked Joomla), and do lock down your web server. Figure out who owns Joomla or other security updates, and figure out who owns archival processing and recovery, and figure out what you want to do if your server becomes compromised.
For the Apache configurations, you want to block access to all but specified directories, and you can want to block the .htaccess and other site-specific files. Access into your defaults, directory traversals, file specifications, etc., are typically blocked via conf directive or .htaccess. Joomla should have recommendations for this somewhere in its documentation. If not, other CMS pacakges have descriptions of locking down Apache, though various details of this process tend to be somewhat CMS-specific. (Check the [Drupal|http://drupal.org] site; I know that CMS has this sort of thing documented.)
You'll want to watch the attacks, too.
It usually takes me a half-hour or so to fully set up and test Apache, building from my templates and customizing those for the particular CMS install I'm working on. Way more than could be easily included here.

Application Server Best Practice Config.?

Hi All
We currentely have an R3 System with 7 application servers which I want to check are running optimally. I have been looking around for some documentation on the best config settings and windows settings, but I have not been very successful.
Does anyone have any documentation, notes or links that will help?
Thanks in advance

A system that does not rely on request & response, so that the client can receive information without requesting any.Datagram
The ability for users to send and recieve String messages. (e.g. server announcements).Ditto. Investigate Multicast also.
The ability for users to send and receive objects. (e.g. sending or receiving user information).RMI.
(optional) Security (e.g. encrypted information).SSL.
Possible communication with clients using different technologies (e.g. .NET client) while using a server in Java.SOAP.
I think you should spend a bit more time with Google, or better yet buy a book or three on Java networking. This one is good: [http://www.amazon.com/Fundamental-Networking-Java-Esmond-Pitt/dp/1846280303|http://www.amazon.com/Fundamental-Networking-Java-Esmond-Pitt/dp/1846280303]

Apache Web Server best practices

I was wondering if there are recommendations for using CPS
with Apache. Obviously the DAV module should be loaded, should ldap
be loaded as well. Is there significant benefit to having multiple
accounts on the web server vs. sharing one and limiting access with
CPS's LDAP?

Oracle9iAS includes Oracle HTTP Server, which is based on Apache (with quite a few additions and enhancements).

Best Practice Analyzer database mismatch error

Hi all,
I am getting the following critical error when I run the BPA on a couple of our BizTalk servers and wondered if anyone had seen the same?
"The version of BizTalk Server does not Match the Version of BizTalk Management Database Schemas"
I am using v1.2 of BPA aagainst a BizTalk 2010 install.
This has only surfaced since we upgraded from BizTalk 2009 R2 BUT not on all of our environments.
It does not seem to be causing any runtime issues however as all applications seem to be running fine!!
Looking at the BizTalkDBVersion tables in SQL everything looks the same on servers which present this error and those that do not i.e. There is an entry for version 3.9.469.0 ... which matches the BizTalk Server version reported in the registry
at "\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\BizTalk Server\3.0\Product Version\"
The only thing I can see is that as this was an upgrade there is also an entry in the
BizTalkDBVersion tables for the 2009R2 version (3.8.368.0), so maybe the BPA is selecting this value and comparing against the regisrty version?]
However, this doesn't explain why I see this issue on 2 upgraded servers but not the 3rd?
Any ideas?
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,
There is no version as BizTalk 2009 R2. v3.8.368.0 refers to BizTalk 2009 (not R2).
The above error occurred because BizTalk Server Best Practices Analyzer has detected that the version of BizTalk Server does not match the version of the BizTalk Database Schemas. This can happen if the BizTalk database was deleted and then restored
with an incorrect database.
Check the version of SQL Server upgraded against the version of BizTalk server.

Not a question, but a suggestion on updating software and best practice (Adobe we need to create stickies for the forums)

Lots of you are hitting the brick wall in updating, and end result is non-recoverable project. In a production environment and with projects due, it's best that you never update while in the middle of projects. Wait until you have a day or two of down time, then test.
For best practice, get into the habit of saving off your projects to a new name by incremental versions. i.e. "project_name_v001", v002, etc.
Before you close a project, save it, then save it again to a new version. In this way you'll always have two copies and will not loose the entire project. Most projects crash upon opening (at least in my experience).
At the end of the day, copy off your current project to an external drive. I have a 1TB USB3 drive for this purpose, but you can just as easily save off just the PPro, AE and PS files to a stick. If the video corrupts, you can always re-ingest.
Which leads us to the next tip: never clear off your cards or wipe the tapes until the project is archived. Always cheaper to buy more memory than recouping lost hours of work, and your sanity.
I've been doing this for over a decade and the number of projects I've lost? Zero. Have I crashed? Oh, yeah. But I just open the previous version, save a new one and resume the edit.

Tank-trailer processing u2013 In this scenario, SAP Best Practices for Chemicals helps handle the selling of bulk material, liquid or granular. It covers the process that automatically adjusts the differences between the original order quantities and the actual quantities filled in the truck. To determine the quantity actually filled, the tank trailer is weighed before and after loading. The delta weight u2013 or quantity filled u2013 is transmitted to the SAP software via an order confirmation. When the delivery for the sales order is created, the software automatically adjusts the order quantity with the confirmed filling quantity.The customer is invoiced for the precise quantity filled and delivered.

What is the best practice to deploy the SharePoint site from test to production environment?

We are beginning to start a new SharePoint 2010 and 2013 development projects, soon developing new features, lists, workflows, customizations to the SharePoint site, customization to list forms and would like to put good practice (that will help in deployment)
in place before going ahead with development.
What is the best way to go about deploying my site from Development to Production?
I am using Visual Studio 2012 and also have Designer 2013...
I have already read that this can be done through powershell, also through visual studio and also via designer. But at this point I am confused as to which are best practices specifically for lists, configurations; workflows; site customizations; Visual studio
development features; customization to list forms etc. You can also provide me reference to links/ebook covering this topic.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Nachiket,
You can follow below approach where the environments has been built in similar fashion
http://thesharepointfarm.com/sharepoint-test-environments/
if you have less data then you can use http://spdeploymentwizard.codeplex.com/

For custom solutions like workflows etc you can always build the WSP packages and deploy across the environments using powershell scripts.
Hope this helps.

Best practice for maintaining URLs between Dev, Test, Production servers

We sometimes send order confirmations which include links to other services in requestcenter.
For example, we might use the link <href="http://#Site.URL#/myservices/navigate.do?query=orderform&sid=54>Also see these services</a>
However, the service ID (sid=54) changes between our dev, test, and production environments. Thus we need to manually go through notifications when we deploy between servers.
Any best practices out there?

Your best practice in this instance depends a bit on how much work you want to put into it at the front end and how tied to the idea of a direct link to a service you are.
If your team uses a decent build sheet and migration checklist then updating the various URL’s can just be part of the process. This is cumbersome but it’s the least “technical” solution if you want to continue using direct links.
A more technical solution would be to replace your direct links with links to a “broker page”. It’s relatively simple to create an asp page that can accept the name of the service as a parameter and then execute an SQL query against the DB to return the ServiceID, construct the appropriate link and pass the user through.
A less precise, but typically viable, option would be to use links that take advantage of the built in search query functionality. Your link might display more results than just one service but you can typically tailor your search query to narrow it down. For example:
If you have a service called Order New Laptop or Desktop and you want to provide a link that will get the user to that service you could use: http://#Site.URL#/RequestCenter/myservices/navigate.do?query=searchresult&&searchPattern=Order%20New%20Desktop%20or%20Laptop
The above would open the site and present the same results as if the user searched for “Order New Desktop or Laptop” manually. It’s not as exact as providing a direct link but it’s quick to implement, requires no special technical expertise and would be “environment agnostic”.
